Company Profile

History

On 13 April 1869, “Bank für Ober-Oesterreich und Salzburg” was founded in Linz.The official date of establishment was 1 July 1869 and the registered office of the company was in Linz.The Federal Province of Upper Austria became a shareholder of Oberbank in 1920, followed by Bayerische Vereins-bank in 1921. In 1929, Creditanstalt für Handel und Gewerbe (CA) became the majority owner of Oberbank.

After World War II, Creditanstalt divided its majority stake in Oberbank AG among Bank für Tirol und Vorarlberg Aktiengesellschaft (BTV) and Bank für Kärnten AG (today BKS Bank AG).A stake of one third was retained by CA and two-thirds each were sold to the other two banks. The original cross-holding structure has developed into a close, partnership-based cooperation under the banner of the 3 Banken Group. The three banks cooperate closely wherever there is synergy potential to be exploited such as in the jointly-owned subsidiaries 3 Banken-Generali Investment-Gesellschaft and DREI-BANKEN-EDV Gesellschaft, both of which are very successful. In ALPENLÄNDISCHE GARANTIE-GESELLSCHAFT (ALGAR), the three banks hedge large exposure risks. This cooperation in no way interferes with the three banks' independent market presence.

From 1955, the Bank's development improved significantly with the acquisition of retail customers. By taking in deposits from private individuals and extending loans to this customer group, the foundation was laid for Oberbank’s equally strong position in both corporate and retail banking.

The stocks of Oberbank have been listed on the Vienna Stock Exchange since 1 July 1986.When Oberbank went public, it removed itself from the influence of CA and started pursuing an independent strategy. Today, Oberbank's shareholder structure includes, besides its two sister banks, UniCredit Bank Austria, Wüstenrot, Generali and Oberbank employees, with around 36 % of ordinary shares being held in free float.

Since 1980s, Oberbank has been expanding also outside of Upper Austria and Salzburg.Oberbank has been represented with branches in Lower Austria since 1985, in Vienna since 1988, in Germany since 1990, in the Czech Republic since 2004, in Hungary since 2007 and in Slovakia since 2009.

Oberbank’s Investment Portfolio

Oberbank only makes long-term investments in other companies if these investments serve to safeguard the survival of headquarters and jobs of domestic companies, to live up to its role of principal local banker, or if the activities of a potential joint venture partner are an “extension” to the Bank's core banking business (e.g. real estate or investment fund companies).

■ The most important equity investments of Oberbank are stakes held in the sister banks BKS and BTV. Oberbank also holds stakes in other companies with whom it cooperates closely, among them Bausparkasse Wüstenrot, Oesterreichische Kontrollbank AG and CEESEG AG (the parent company of Wiener Börse AG).

■ As a strategic partner, Oberbank owns stakes, among others, in voestalpine AG (7.64 %), the Energie AG Ober-österreich (4.12 %), Lenzing Aktiengesellschaft (4.23 %), LINZ TEXTIL HOLDING AKTIEN-GESELLSCHAFT (6.22 %) and Gasteiner Bergbahnen AG (32.62 %). Oberbank invests directly as a private equity finance partner through holding companies.

■ In the real estate business, Oberbank holds equity interests in companies set up for the construction or man-agement of Oberbank-owned real estate, as well as in selected residential developers that feature as potentially important partners in residential construction finance.

■ Oberbank's leasing sub-group bundles the bank's Austrian and foreign leasing companies, and also includes com-panies established for the purpose of financing individual customer projects or Oberbank projects.

■ Other investments include stakes in companies that supply business services to banks (DREI-BANKEN-EDV Gesellschaft and Einlagensicherung der Banken und Bankiers GmbH, the deposit protection company of the Austrian commercial banks) or have specific regional significance in Oberbank’s regions (various technology and business incubation centres).

Strategy and Business Model

■ Safeguarding the independence and autonomy of Oberbank has top priorityIt is, first and foremost, Oberbank's focus on this goal that ensures that all the bank's activities always serve to main-tain a balance of interests for its customers, employees and shareholders.

■ Oberbank offers corporate and private clients the highest quality of advisory services. In corporate and business banking, Oberbank has established itself as a highly competent partner in cross-border business, a key player with special know-how in the field of investment finance and as a supplier of alternative forms of financing such as equity and mezzanine capital finance. In personal banking, Oberbank excels with high quality and expertise in providing advisory-intensive services: in private banking, in asset management and in residential construction finance.

■ Oberbank's organic growth is achieved by expanding its network of branches. The goal of the expansion is to support existing customers and to win new customers in attractive regions. At the end of 2016, Oberbank operated 159 branches: 49 in Upper Austria, 14 in Salzburg, 35 in Lower Austria and Vienna, and 61 in Germany, Czech Republic, Hungary and Slovakia.

■ Oberbank only takes risks it can handle on the strength of its own resources. The aim is to stabilize the company’s risk at a low level. The risk-to-earnings ratio is to be kept below 25 % over the long term, and impairment allowance ratio below 0.7 %.

■ Oberbank refinances retail loans with customer deposits and other long-term refinancing funds.Additionally, Oberbank holds extensive liquidity reserves in the form of eligible loan assets and securities eligible for refinancing as well as access to credit lines at a large number of other banks and institutional investors.

■ Proprietary trading plays a minor role at Oberbank.The Global Financial Markets department provides services for customers and for the asset/liability and liquidity management of the bank, especially for interest and currency risk management.

■ Oberbank consistently works to improve the professional expertise and social competence of its staff. Management by objectives (MbO) and predefined standards of performance provide clear guidance for the manage-ment and ensure regular feedback.

■ Attractive cost structures contribute enormously to the earnings power of Oberbank.Efficient processes, lean company structures, ongoing rationalisation projects and the shift of resources from admin-istrative processes to sales help to create the basis for steadily improving earnings and constantly good profitability ratios.

Company Profile

■ Strategy 2020

Oberbank developed guidelines in the "Strategy 2020" with the objective of preparing the company for future challenges.The strategy and the business model of Oberbank has proven highly crisis-resistant and for this reason there is no need for a fundamental reorientation of the company.

Rather, the new strategy is a further development of the current one. It continues to be based on the values, the corporate culture and the eight strategic goals of Oberbank, but accounts for the changed market conditions (low-interest environment) and new market trends (digitalisation).

Corporate and Business Customers: Greater focus on self-employed, small businesses and professionsThe goal is to defend and expand the strong position of Oberbank as the “bank for industry and SMEs”. A campaign has been launched for the segment self-employed/small businesses/professions. The aim is to acquire new market shares based on existing expertise in the commercial and business segment and to guarantee the swift and efficient granting of loans to micro businesses.

Personal Banking: Growth, higher earnings The personal banking segment is losing appeal for many banks for cost and earnings reasons. Oberbank aims to continue growth in this segment and to increase earnings by offering high-quality personal advisory services and convenient digital products.

Regionally-diversified strategyOberbank is still a universal bank, but is regionally diverse. Within Austria, Vienna (in addition to Upper Austria/Salzburg) has become its “second home market”. In Germany, the focus is on the advisory business with the estab-lishment of investment centres and the further development of the bank’s know-how in corporate advisory services. In the Czech Republic, Oberbank continues to be a universal bank, in Hungary expansion is still ongoing despite the difficult market environment, and in Slovakia the focus is on the corporates business.

More branches and multi-channel strategyDigitalisation and automation are new trends that banks have to tackle proactively. Therefore, Oberbank has developed an overall digital concept for its business. At the beginning of 2016, the new customer portal was launched and the bank is testing new types of branches to meet changed customer preferences.

Human Resources

The decisive factor for the company’s success is our committed, motivated and well-trained staff. Oberbank’s investment in these qualities is the foundation for achieving a lasting positive development. In 2016, the strategy for Human Resources (HR) was reviewed with a view to the corporate strategy 2020 and the external and internal chal-lenges facing the bank. Implementation measures and projects for the period until 2020 have been defined based on the strategy.

Attractive employerThe bank’s image as an employer and employer branding were reinforced with clear core messages and new ad-vertising themes in 2016. A common vision, corporate values consistently put into practice, a sustainable business model and an attractive working environment are achievements reflected in the top ratings for Oberbank as an employer on the internet platform “kununu”. Employees are with the company on average for more than 15 years

Company Profile

in the core markets, and especially key staff is very loyal to the bank, with a very favourable staff turnover rate of 5.9 % in 2016. This sets Oberbank apart from others on the labour market.

Promoting and developing human resourcesManagement-level staff has a clear responsibility for personnel development. Guidelines, regular MbO talks and “HR Checks” as well as development programmes are the standard instruments applied. The identification and develop-ment of employees with high potential is given top priority to secure the long-term competitiveness and success of Oberbank. Thanks to targeted staff development and career support, Oberbank is able to fill vacant key positions from within the Company's own ranks in most cases.

Training and further education for employeesThe high quality of advisory services is assured by continuous training and further education. The high quality and broad range of training and further education courses is constantly being updated and the staff has autonomy in deciding which to attend. New and modern learning management software for all learning forms was introduced in all markets in 2016 to enable the modern and professional management of personnel development. The commitment to continuous further education at Oberbank is well established. Employees invest more than five days a year on the average in internal further education courses. Apart from the established certification pro-grammes of three academies for employees in the areas “management”, “retail customers” and “corporate and busi-ness customers”, a new training programme was launched in 2016 for the certification of risk managers. In 2016, the enlargement of the learning formats in the area of personal banking “cross learning” and the workshop “crossing borders” focused on sharing experiences and learning from best practices. Almost EUR 1.5 million were invested in training and further education for employees in 2016.

Managing employeesA key element of what is understood to constitute management at Oberbank is an MbO system that is used across all levels from the top management to employees and which provides clear guidance for all employees. At Oberbank, we believe that the way management is conducted has a major influence on the behaviour of employees and is a key success factor.

The MbO performance standards for management staff ensure a uniform understanding of what is management. The management staff trains for the required qualities and their implementation at the internal management acad-emy organised in cooperation with the LIMAK Austrian Business School in the training courses “Basic”, “Advanced” and “Experts”. An evaluation of the required management competencies is done within the scope of the annual MbO talks.

“Health Share” (Aktie Gesundheit)The initiative “Health Share” has a focus on exercise, nutrition and mental fitness, and aims to point out the individual options open to employees to take care of their health. Oberbank was awarded the quality seal for employee health promotion (Gütesiegel für betriebliche Gesundheitsförderung) for the measures taken. Activities, workshops and seminars on the topics of “natural exercise” and “preventive healthcare” as well as the check-up offered to test physi-cal agility, fitness and coordination with the "Uniqa Vitaltruck” were very popular among employees. The tradition-ally very high health ratio was 97.1 % in 2016.

“Future Women 2020” (Zukunft Frau 2020)Promoting compatibility of career and family, and offering women career opportunities are high priorities at Ober-bank. The objective is to achieve a 40 % ratio of all newly appointed management staff by 2020. Flexible working time arrangements, teleworking options, active parental leave planning, breakfast events for women returning to the workplace and financial assistance for childcare are all measures that help create a favourable environment for

Page 8: Future. Challenge. - Oberbank · Challenge. Oberbank. nOT JUST anY bank. ... in the jointly-owned subsidiaries 3 Banken-Generali Investment-Gesellschaft and DREI-BANKEN-EDV Gesellschaft,

reconciling a career with family life. Networking events, special seminars for women and participation in the cross-mentoring programme of the province of Upper Austria and the Frauenfachakademie Mondsee are measures to support and promote women.

Managing human resources risksThe bank systematically monitors, records and evaluates key person-related risks (staff availability, labour law and employment practices, staff conflicts, unauthorized criminal conduct by staff members). The key risk indicators make the appropriate monitoring possible in order to be able to take measures in time to eliminate or mitigate threats and risks.

Number of employeesThe average number of staff (full time equivalents) rose by 24 to 2,049 in 2016. The reason for the increase was the expansion in Vienna, Hungary and Germany as well as more stringent regulatory requirements. Parallel to this, costs were cut by taking advantage of natural fluctuations and by optimizing processes in central areas.

Assuming Responsibility

Oberbank is explicitly committed to ensuring that ecological and social aspects of economic activities are always and systematically taken into account in all considerations. In the banking sector more than anywhere else, economy, reliability, stability and solidity are valuable assets that need to be treated with great care, because the trust of cus-tomers, employees and other stakeholders is an asset of utmost importance.

Sustainability of all activities Oberbank can only be economically successful if it lives up to its ecological and social responsibility. The Manage-ment Board has therefore taken great care to implement appropriate measures to ensure that the bank fully dis-charges its social responsibility, thus safeguarding the sustainability of the Company's business model.

Economic responsibilityA responsible approach to conducting business is the only way to ensure that an enterprise will be effectively and enduringly be integrated in the economic structure of a region, will contribute to enhancing the common good and generate lasting value added for society. Oberbank is expressly committed to the goal of sustainable business development. The bank's strategy, business policy, target planning and remuneration system all focus on long-term business success and make sustainable, successful development the guiding principle of all corporate activities.

Ecological responsibilityUsing resources responsibly is part and parcel of corporate social responsibility, which is why Oberbank strives for the highest levels of environmental compatibility in all its operations, processes and products. Emphasizing environ-mental aspects in building and energy management as well as in the planning of business trips and in procurement policy sets the course towards reducing costs in the long term.

Responsibility in product designOberbank makes an effort to live up to its ecological responsibility with respect to products as well. Customers of Oberbank's investment fund company, 3 Banken-Generali Investment-Gesellschaft, have the opportunity to invest their money in an eco-friendly and ethical funds. The 3 Banken Nachhaltigkeitsfonds invests in enterprises commit-ted to sustainable management. The fund's sustainability criteria include a focus on clean and renewable energy, energy efficiency, health, water, sustainable consumption, sustainable mobility as well as environmental and educa-tional services.

Social responsibilityAddressing social issues constitutes a further important aspect of Oberbank`s commitment.Financial and organizational assistance for different projects ensures that Oberbank's economic success also benefits people and groups that live in a less privileged environment.Oberbank furthermore takes an active role in promoting cultural activities, which the bank perceives as an important aspect of its corporate social responsibility.

Research and developmentOberbank develops individual financial services in the areas of finance and investment in response to the needs its customers. Oberbank does not engage in research and development in the classic sense.

Measures aimed at promoting women (§ 243b para. 2 no. 2 Business Code)As at 31 December 2016, Oberbank (including Leasing) employed a total of 85 women in executive positions; this corresponds to 21.4 % of all executive positions (2015: 81 women or 19.9 %). In 2010, Oberbank launched the project "Zukunft Frau 2020", which serves the objective of doubling the number of women in executive positions in the company by 2020. In this context, it was defined that every year over 40 % of new executive appointees must be female in order to lastingly attain this objective.The project involves money support for childcare (also during the holiday months), the opportunity for women on childcare leave to participate in further education events, targeted development career planning for women, flexible working time and work organisation models to ease women's return to work, home office offers and special semi-nars for women as (potential) executives. Despite all of these efforts and the progress achieved in the past financial year, reinforcing the motivation of women to assume management positions will remain an enormous challenge for the coming years.Within the framework of the project "Zukunft Frau 2020”, Oberbank also applied for certification as a family-friendly employer. Following an inspection by a certified expert on 14 April 2011, the Federal Ministry of Economic Affairs, Family and Youth, awarded Oberbank the "berufundfamilie" Basic Certificate for its efforts for a period of three years from 5 June 2011. Following an external evaluation by TÜV SÜD Landesgesellschaft Österreich GmbH, Oberbank was awarded this government quality certificate for a further three years in 2014.The implementation of further measures will be evaluated annually by external experts. This initiative has the pur-pose of laying the groundwork for achieving a greater number of qualified women in management positions at Ober-bank. The women are then qualified for appointment to management board and supervisory board functions at the consolidated subsidiaries, thereby making it possible to achieve the 25 % target over the long term.The share of female members on the Supervisory Board who represent shareholders is 25 % and the share for repre-sentatives of the Works Council is even 33 %. Thus, the bank fulfils the projected ratio of 25 %.

Money launderingIn the financial year 2016 as in the past, the measures to prevent money laundering and terrorism financing were a special focus of Oberbank.The computer-assisted checking of suspicious transactions, embargo checks and the thorough examination of new business relationships with politically exposed persons were performed in accordance with legal requirements. Within the scope of an ongoing improvement process, the findings gained from interaction with the supervisory bodies were implemented after careful analysis so as to be able to continuously develop and improve the processes and methods applied.

Special training courses were organized for employees on the topics of money laundering and terrorist financing to enable them to detect potentially risky transactions and business cases early on. Any suspicious activities are reported to the Austrian Financial Intelligence Unit.The management was informed of the bank's anti-money laundering activities in regular reports.

Investor Relations

Share and shareholder structureOberbank's top priority is to safeguard its independence. This is achieved by robust earnings, a sound risk policy and shareholders committed to preserving the independence of Oberbank.No single shareholder of Oberbank AG is in a position to acquire a direct or indirect controlling interest. A syndicate agreement between BKS, BTV and Wüstenrot Genossenschaft specifically aims at ensuring Oberbank's independ-ence. Further stabilising elements of the shareholder structure of Oberbank include the shares held by the staff and the long-standing alliance with business partners like Wüstenrot and Generali.

Investors have a choice: ordinary shares and/or preference sharesInvestors have a choice between Oberbank ordinary shares and Oberbank preference shares. The preference shares do not give shareholders voting rights, but rather guarantee a 6 % minimum dividend on the pro-rata percentage in the share capital (EUR 9 million), payable at a later time. The dividend was the same for both types of shares at the last payout. As the preference shares do not carry voting rights, they are traded at a markdown versus ordinary shares and therefore feature higher dividend yields.

Highly successful capital increase in 2016 In November 2016, Oberbank carried out the third capital increase within 18 months. A volume of 3,070,200 new ordinary shares were placed at a price of EUR 53.94 per share; this corresponds to a price gain of EUR 165.6 million. The nominal share capital of Oberbank was thus raised to EUR 105.9 million. Due to the enormous investor interest in the placement, demand was twice as high as the freely available volume.Some 700 investors bought Oberbank shares for the first time. As not all shareholders exercised their subscription rights, a large volume was available to new shareholders and the ratio of free float to total capital rose from 32.6 % (as at 31 Dec. 2015) to 36.3 %.The new ordinary shares have full dividend rights for the financial year 2016. The new shareholders can take part in the 137th Annual General Meeting of Oberbank on 16 May 2017.

Oberbank shares soar to all-time highs in 2016The shares of Oberbank rose to all-time highs in 2016. Ordinary shares reached a record level of EUR 60.30 on 30 Dec. 2016, while preference shares climbed to EUR 52.75 on 19 December 2016. The year-on-year performance (price trend and dividend) was +16.1 % for ordinary shares and +41.3 % for preference shares in 2016. Market capitalisation of Oberbank AG was EUR 2,105.6 million at the end of 2016, as compared to EUR 1,656.8 million at the end of the preceding year, which is an increase of the company’s value by 27.1 %.
